	In an alternate timeline presented in [[Dragon Ball Z Movie 7]], No. 13 was an eternal-energy and fully robotic Artificial Human, similar in many respects to the main series's [[Artificial Human No. 16]]. His internal workings were designed to be compatible with those of [[Artificial Human No. 14\|No. 14]] and [[Artificial Human No. 15\|No. 15]], who were developed in adjacent pods. Although initially discarded, Doctor Gero's computer continued development on No. 13 as well as his counterparts. Nos. 14 and 15 were completed first and unleashed on Son Goku and his friends in the early summer of [[Age 767]]. A few hours later, No. 13 was completed and met up with the battle already in progress at the [[glacial belt]].

'''Artificial Human No. 13''' is a fictional character in the ''Dragon Ball'' universe by [[Akira Toriyama]]. He is the primary antagonist of [[Dragon Ball Z Movie 7]], a film written by [[Takao Koyama]] although based on a character design provided by Akira Toriyama. Much like [[Cell]] from the main continuity, Artificial Human No. 13 became more powerful by absorbing parts from [[Artificial Human No. 14]] and [[Artificial Human No. 15|No. 15]]. He was destroyed by [[Son Goku]].

==Biography==
===Main Timeline===
In the main timeline of the series, [[Doctor Gero]] created and discarded a model called "Artificial Human No. 13", although details are scarce. Artificial Humans No. 13 through No. 15 were close to the final form, but had various flaws and were ultimately abandoned.<ref>{{cite manga|Chp=367}}</ref> Shortly after being reactivated, [[Artificial Human No. 17|No. 17]] remarks that units prior to [[Artificial Human No. 16|No. 16]] appeared to have been discarded.<ref>{{cite episode|Series=Z|Eps=134}}</ref>.

===Movie Timeline===
In an alternate timeline presented in [[Dragon Ball Z Movie 7]], No. 13 was an eternal-energy and fully robotic Artificial Human, similar in many respects to the main series's [[Artificial Human No. 16]]. His internal workings were designed to be compatible with those of [[Artificial Human No. 14|No. 14]] and [[Artificial Human No. 15|No. 15]], who were developed in adjacent pods. Although initially discarded, Doctor Gero's computer continued development on No. 13 as well as his counterparts. Nos. 14 and 15 were completed first and unleashed on Son Goku and his friends in the early summer of [[Age 767]]. A few hours later, No. 13 was completed and met up with the battle already in progress at the [[glacial belt]].

Despite being the lower-numbered Artificial Human, No. 13 immediately took a leadership role to focus the fight on Son Goku, while his counterparts kept [[Future Trunks]] and [[Vegeta]] busy. No. 13 thrashed Goku in the air and underwater; he even nearly pinned him against a glacier with his [[S. S. Deadly Bomber]] attack. Once Goku and his friends transformed into [[Super Saiyan|Super Saiyans]], the tables were turned and No. 14 and No. 15 were destroyed. Now fighting alone, No. 13 used a form of telekinesis to attract and absorb key parts of the other Artificial Humans into his body, allowing him to transform into an awesome new form: Merged No. 13. This new form was even able to overpower all three Super Saiyans and their friends. While Goku powered up a ''[[genki dama]]'', his friends fought to distract the Artificial Human. Once he had gathered enough power, Goku somehow absorbed the ''genki'' into himself and destroyed No. 13 in the resulting shockwave.

==Name==
Like all of his [[Artificial Humans]], Doctor Gero gave No. 15 a name representing his place in the development timeline as the thirteenth unit. No explanation is provided as to why the lowest numbered Artificial Human of the three would be the leader or the most powerful. Toriyama's idea for numbered robots may have originated in [[Dr. Slump Chapter 67]] with [[Dr. Mashirito]] and his numbered [[Caramel Man]] creations.<ref>TODO: Cite Dr. Slump Chapter 67</ref> Like Doctor Gero, Marshirito's robots were also intended for world conquest.

[[File:Daizenshuu6-No-13-design-merged.png|right|thumb|150px|As well as his merged form.]]
Akira Toriyama designed both No. 13's base and merged forms.<ref>{{cite guidebook|Book=11|Page=p. 185}}</ref> In his base form, No. 13 wears a vest and a [[Red Ribbon Army]] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trucker_hat Trucker hat].<ref group="note">A "trucker hat", also known as a "gimme cap" as well as other names, are oversized baseball caps sold or given away at truck stops in the United States, especially during the 1970s.</ref> In his merged form, No. 13 loses the hat and vest and takes on a more monstrous appearance including large spiky hair. In the film, Merged No. 13's body turns blue and his hair turns red, however this color scheme may or may not have been intended by Toriyama's original black and white sketches.

==Notable Skills==
No. 13 is a capable fighter, able to match [[Cell]]-era [[Son Goku]], [[Future Trunks]], and [[Vegeta]] while in their base forms. Once transformed, he was able to trounce even [[Super Saiyan]] Son Goku, except for the distractions posed by Goku's friends.

Goku's friends are able to exploit No. 13's berserker nature distract him long enough for Goku to gather the energy required to defeat him. No. 13 also utilizes the [[S. S.

==Performance==
[[Kazuyuki Sogabe]] plays Artificial Human No. 13, one of several minor villains that he plays in the series. He is best known as the voice of [[Doctor Mu]] in ''[[Dragon Ball GT]]''
